In this case, full carbon would definitely be safer, since sweat doesn't degrade carbon. Sweat corrosion of aluminum is definitely an issue, you can find images of corroded handle bars also.
I suspect the trainer sessions are really what killed it. When I'm on the trainer, I'm sweating like crazy. In an aero-position you're going to be dripping sweat straight into the stem.
